Mazda3 - Snow coming out of the vents

[kooytoy]

Hey Everyone,

This is my first time on a forum...I love my Mazda 3 but I do have an issue with it. Every time there is a snow storm and the snow blows around a bit, it comes into my car when I turn it on. It blows in through the vents and I get a small layer of snow all over the interior of my car. Is anone else having this problem? What can I do about this?

You may want to contact Transport Canada and file a complaint. They may have heard of this before.

You can also contact the APA and also file a complaint. They would be the other source to find out if you're not alone.

Have you tried complaining to your dealer (stupid question...)

[woohoo!]

Uh, that seems to happen to me in many cars I've owned.

Or in summer, dust and stuff blows in when starting the car.

The air has to be sucked in from somewhere in the front of the car, but there might be a flat surface right in front of the air intake where snow accumulates.

My doughter has a mazda3 she never had this problem of snow blowing in trough the vents...

Not all cars are created equally. 1 out of 100 may have a problem, or none, or most of them.

You're lucky or not in your pick I guess...
